To ctZZ whom it may concern: w

Be it known that I, ADA LUZELLE WINN, a citizen of the United States,` resi'ding at Hillsborough, in the county of Union and State of Arkansas, have invented a new and useful I inprovement in Button-Fasteners, of which the following is a specifieation.

My invention relates to an improvement in button-fasteners; and it consists in the novel is a Vertical sectional view of the cloth, with the button-fastener in elevation. Fig. 3 is a detail perspe'ctive view of the separate parts of my improvement.

My fastener consists, essentially, of the wire loop A and the securi'ng-plate B.

The loop A is formed from a single piece of wire, which is Originally bent into U-shaped form, and is then bent to provide a loop, a, which passes through the button and cloth, and withtshort bends a', forming substantiall y right-angled extensions at the two ends of the said loop, the ends of said extensions forming points a. From the short bends a' to the points asof the loop a gradual curve is formed, the said points a'projecting slightly above the plane of the extension ai.

The plate B is formed with four holes, b b',

i therein, and a reduced end projection, b'l, which i is adapted to be bent upon the main portion of the plate.

holes b in the end of the plate B, and then under the said plate. The plate Bis then slipped up onthe loop a and the points a? brought into engagement with the openings b'. The end 122 is then bent over, as shown in Fig. 2, to prevent the points aa tearing or wearing the fabric.

My device is intended especially for attaching suspender-buttons, and in such case the length of the loop a should be such as to hold the plate away from the fabric suffieiently to permit the end' 122 being used as a hook to support the underclothes.

A button is readily aitached by means of my improverneut, and time saved and a durable and strong connection obtained by the use thereof.

The utility of my device being obviously apparent, it is unneeessary to l'urther cnlarge upon the same herein.

Having thus described my invenlion, what the apertures b and the apei'tures b' receiving the points (L3, substantially as specified.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I have hereto affixed my` signature in presence of two witnesses.

ADA .LUZELLE WINN.
